Abstract: Many-particle charged-particle plasma simulations using spatial meshes for the electromagnetic field solutions, particle-in-cell (PIC) merged with Monte Carlo collision (MCC) calculations, are coming into wide use for application to partially ionized gases. The author emphasizes the development of PIC computer experiments since the 1950s starting with one-dimensional (1-D) charged-sheet models, the addition of the mesh, and fast direct Poisson equation solvers for 2-D and 3-D. Details are provided for adding the collisions between the charged particles and neutral atoms. The result is many-particle simulations with many of the features met in low-temperature collision plasmas; for example, with applications to plasma-assisted materials processing, but also related to warmer plasmas at the edges of magnetized fusion plasmas. >

The secondary electron multipactor on the inner surface of the output window is one of the main factors limiting the power capacity of high power microwave. Therefore, it is of great significance to carry out relevant research. In this paper, the process of secondary electron multipactor and the resulting loss of power are numerically simulated by the electromagnetic particle model with one-dimensional spatial distribution and three-dimensional velocity distribution at the microwave frequency …

Adaptive mass alteration to model ion–ion recombination in a Particle-in-Cell simulation of silane radio-frequency discharges
TL;DR: A method is proposed that enables the simulation of the recombination of positive and negative ions in an accurate way, even at low densities, and it is shown that this simulation of ion recombination results in a lower level of non-physical fluctuations.

Abstract: We present the results of the investigation of the initial stage of volume discharge formation in helium of atmospheric pressure. The investigation of the non-locality of energy distribution influence on the ionization wave parameters in the front area is carried out on the basis of a two-dimensional axial-symmetry drift-diffusion model. The results of numerical calculations are in a satisfactory agreement with the experimental data.
